説明
<jats:title>Neandertal growth patterns</jats:title><jats:p>The ontogeny of different parts of the Neandertal skeleton has been derived from isolated bones and fragments. Rosas<jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic>present a more complete skeleton of a Neandertal child, aged 7 to 8 years, from a 49,000-year-old site in northern Spain. The skeleton preserves dental, cranial, and postcranial material, allowing the assessment of dental and skeletal maturation with age. Most of the elements indicate an overall growth rate similar to that of modern human children. The main difference between Neandertals and modern humans is in the vertebral column. Also, several features indicate ongoing brain growth. The pattern of vertebral maturation and extended brain growth might reflect the broad Neandertal body form and physiology, rather than a fundamental difference in the overall pace of growth in Neandertals.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Science</jats:italic>, this issue p.<jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6357" page="1282" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="357" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aan6463">1282</jats:related-article></jats:p>
